You found me now and you heard my call

Luke was perceptive enough to know that Osprey, however weak she may appear right now, was nothing of the sort. He sensed in her a very strong woman, and knew that it troubled her to accept his offer to escort her home. This is why he had so softly made the offer and coupled it with the suggestion that she tell him about her ghosts. He did not at all want to upset her, but was genuinely worried about her condition. It was a relief to him that she agreed to let him walk her to the plateau.

"How about the second ghost?" he answered, keeping his tone light in a hopeful effort to keep her spirits up (no pun intended). As Luke strolled along beside her, toward the distant trees, he kept his body close, both for comfort and support should she find she needed it.
